Guard Your Eyes has given me the tools to make through thick & thin: I am getting divorced after just a short while married, and being strong in these areas has given me my only anchor to be happy again. I am over 125 days clean and it’s a big thank you to the GYE support group. I have reached goals and levels I never knew I had inside me; however, Guard Your Eyes has brought it out in me!

Boruch Hashem, I have passed the year-mark of staying clean, of growing, learning, accepting, listening, and getting to know some wonderful people. In a certain way, the last item on the list - getting to know some wonderful people - was and is probably the most important...

I grew up with full internet access and became addicted at a young age. It had been about fifteen years and I don't believe I had gone a full week without acting out. Now I have become a member of GYE and through the Taphsic program I have been clean for 50 days! I didn't...

Realizing my biggest issue was probably self-esteem was monumental. As a human being and definitely as a Jew, one shouldn't waste their potential. Wasting seed and time over computerized false garbage is a sign of not admiring myself, and not realizing my potential. Thing...

Dear GYE, Thank you for the wonderful work you do. You have been providing hungry souls like me with the nutrition and encouragement to keep going and keep climbing. I am eternally grateful and pray for your compounding success. My journey was nothing short of a miracle...

Hi, I've been a hardcore addict for as long as I remember myself. I'm technically still married but in divorce proceedings. B"h, I have 3 beautiful boys whom I love dearly. My journey into recovery started in 2015 when my wife got serious about divorce. I always knew I ha...

A woman wrote to us: I got rid of my computer last year because I felt it was a constant distraction, and rather than addressing everything I needed to, I was distracting myself. But to do that meant quitting my job - which was an easy, work from home well-paying positi...

I get a Mazal Tov, I had a baby boy now, and it's a miracle of GYE! Let me tell you the story in short: About a year and a half ago, when I first came to your site, I had 5 daughters and no sons. I met a partner on GYE with 5 boys and no girls. We became very close an...

I'm in a clean streak now and it certainly feels different. I'm reading more (yourbrainonporn.com as well as much of the online materials here). I had some major stress today. In the past, it has led me to try to escape. I'm not doing that now. I'm listening to music, ...

Dear GYE, It's been over a month since I sent GYE my first question, It was at a time when I was in a state of confusion and tension Struggling with lust fantasies and masturbation, I wondered the Torah approach in this equation I grew up in a frum home full of love, I ...

Shalom Aleichem Ya’akov, MANY THANKS – I did my 1st Shvua after we emailed last month, and not one slip BH. It expired today and I just renewed. I had restricted my iPhone (long ago – friend set up code) but temporarily he gave me back the code as this was only way I ...

I'm currently going through the beautiful and incredible GYE Handbook, and I really find it helpful. I read a bit of it every day or so. At some point, I came to something very interesting in Tool n° 3. They write that if you're blind, then you don't lust. Well, I'm bli...

My name is Binyomin, and I am a sexaholic. I have been sexually sober since August 18, 2016 with the help of Hashem, the fellowship of SA, going to meetings and working the steps. I was introduced to sexual stimuli as a young child. Since then, I lived a fantasy life....

I came to this site by accident, of sorts. Yes, there were several decades of filth and smut in my days, but I always stopped, at least for a week or two, or more. Recovery and lack thereof did not consume my life. I was fine with the pattern. Of course, yamim noraim (m...

Thank G-d, I'm over 100 days clean B"H. My life has changed around. I'm a happy man, home early, awake early, done great deeds during these past 15 weeks. And I feel strong, because with all this good, it would just be a pity to fall and lose all this! ~Shalom4511

I have struggled with shmirat habrit, like many of us, my whole life, ever since I was about 10. I always used to think only I had this insane problem, and I felt guilty, sick, depressed, alone, suicidal etc. - that is until, Baruch HaShem, I came across GYE and realized ...

I'm pretty sure I've gone more than 90 days clean, BH, of not masturbating. The trick was having a chevrusa at night till 10:45 and then one in the morning at 6:15. I also do not have internet access on a laptop and enough gigs on my phone to last me 3 hours if I watc...
